Abstract: The Home Owners’ Loan Act (HOLA), as amended by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA), allows a Federal savings association (FSA) with total consolidated assets of $20 billion or less, as of December 31, 2017, to elect to operate as a covered savings association (CSA). This section of HOLA requires the OCC to issue rules that, among other things, establish streamlined standards and procedures for FSA elections to operate as CSAs and clarify the requirements for the treatment of CSAs. A CSA has the same rights and privileges as a national bank and is subject to the same duties and restrictions as a national bank. Twelve CFR part 101 allows FSAs to elect national bank powers and operate as CSAs. An FSA seeking to operate as a CSA is required under 12 CFR 101.3(a) to submit a notice making an election to the OCC that: (1) is signed by a duly authorized officer of the FSA; and (2) identifies and describes any nonconforming subsidiaries, assets, or activities that the FSA operates, holds, or conducts at the time its submits its notice. Under 12 CFR 101.5(a), the OCC may require a CSA to submit a plan to divest, conform, or discontinue a nonconforming subsidiary, asset, or activity. A CSA may submit a notice to terminate its election to operate as a CSA under 12 CFR 101.6 using similar procedures to those for an election. In addition, after a period of five years, an FSA that has terminated its election to operate as a CSA may submit a notice under 12 CFR 101.7 to reelect using the same procedures used for its original election.
